2018 is over so it is time to look back and see how I did. Next step is to see what I can do in 2019 to get better.
Centennial Golf Club Offers Up & Down & Up Again Golf
I have wanted to play Centennial Golf Club for a several years. The course is made up of three 9 hole courses: Meadows, Lakes, and Fairways. The course is carved into the hills of Carmel, NY and offers some great views of the area.
Scotland Run Golf Club is Picturesque but There is a Trap
Scotland Run Golf Club offers some great views through the course. The course has strategically placed cranes, tractors and even an airplane (more off this later) is traps to rust. Sounds weird but somehow it worst to add to the chair of the course. The greens can be defined as hilly or even roller coaster like depending on what side of the break you land on compared to the hole location.
Fox Hollow Golf Club Provided a Fine Scottish Day of Golf
The day can best be described as wet. The forecast did not lie and it rained most of the day at Fox Hollow Golf Club. Despite the crummy weather, we … Continue Reading Fox Hollow Golf Club Provided a Fine Scottish Day of Golf
Charity Golf Tournament Tips: Sponsor
Charity golf tournaments are a great way to raise money and awareness for your organization or cause. I have chaired the Greater Washington Business Aviation Association’s golf tournament for the past nine years. We raise money for the organization and the Aero Club of Washington Foundation and the Corporate Angel Network. In the years, I have seen different approaches from sponsors sitting at the holes to interact with golfers. I wanted to share some tips to make the most of this opportunity.
Bruce Lee Can Save a Bad Round of Golf
Looking at these techniques, how can we apply them to a bad hole in golf? I don’t mean to take your vengeance physically on the hole. If we treat the bad hole as the attacker on our enjoyment of the round and positive mental state, how can we combat that attack?
What the Hell is a Baffler Golf Club?
Cobra is not at the top of my list for desired hybrids or other golf clubs. The reason this golf club is in my bag is because of its unique loft as a 7H at 31°. I was looking for a hybrid to hit with some good loft like a wedge. My family passed around, Callaway War Bird 7 Wood through the years. That club was excellent for 180 yard par 3s with its great distance and straight drop at the end of its flight.
What to Do if You Forgot How to Play Golf
There is terrible affliction that robs the golfer of all knowledge of how to hit and the physical coordination to strike a golf ball purely. It robs them of years of technique, practice, and most importantly confidence. There are no tells of its approach and the only sign of its infection is a confused look on the face or repeated staring at your club after each terrible shot. It is the Voldemort of golf and we dare to speak its name….the y!ps.
Top 4 Golf Mind Games to Play Against Your Enemy
Today, I would like to dive into the dark side of golf. Golf is a sport which means there is competition and sometimes money rides on that competition. As we learn by paying attention to modern professional sports, every advantage should be used to win. Sometimes, you don’t need a physical advantage but play a few golf mind games to get the best of your opponent.
The Top 4 Unwritten Rules of Golf
The USGA rule book is one of the most quoted and feared books in the game of golf. We all want to play by the rules but we don’t always want to know if we are breaking any rules that result in stroke and distance. (Damn you OB and white stakes). There are however unwritten rules of golf that are not written down but rather passed down. These are the unwritten rules of golf my dad taught me.
Harbor Pines Golf Club Course Review
The Jersey shore is a great place for summer memories. I remember the boardwalk games and rides, playing in the open for hours, fish and chips from Campbells Seafood and … Continue Reading Harbor Pines Golf Club Course Review
The Only Area of Your Golf Game to Save 9 Strokes
There are merits to each but here is why the correct answer is SHORT GAME. Let’s first define short game as anything within 50 yards of the green and this includes green side bunkers. You work your hardest to cover 300+ yards in was few strokes as possible an then hope for the best? Short game takes touch, finesse, strategy, and foresight.
The Definitive Guide to Grabbing a Bite at the Turn
Golf is a social game and includes a acceptable level of drinking and eating. One tradition is grabbing a bite to eat at the turn on your way to the 10th tee. In the old days, this might include a sit down for a ham sandwich with Grey Puppon and a high ball. Now a days, Ready Golf has turned the Turn into a fly by of a grab and go meal that is consumed bouncing down the 10th fairway. Let’s talk about what makes a good “meal” at the turn.
A Course Called Ireland is a Journey You Need to Take
I was at a family dinner in Brooklynn, NY sitting next to Uncle Ed and I knew the conversation would end on golf somehow, someway. “I got the next book … Continue Reading A Course Called Ireland is a Journey You Need to Take
It Was the Best of Golf Score, It Was the Worst….
Recently, I played at Heron Glen Golf Club with my dad. It was the first round that we had played together this summer. I enjoy playing with my dad now that I can hit consistently and don’t lose a dozen balls on the Front 9 or my temper on a regular basis. This round was special to me for another reason, I played probably my best golf score despite imploding on the last 3 holes of the day. And I didn’t lose my sh!t.
How to Play Ready Golf
Ready Golf is defined by the small steps taken by all players to not waste time. Some traditional protocols are ignored but not completely forgotten. It is not a free for all but rather an organized group effort. Golf courses like it because they cannot more foursomes through the course in a day. I want to review what makes for good ready golf.
